I've been day dreaming about cupcakes for 2 days. So when I saw these little guys I thought it would make the perfect activity for a Thursday night with my husband.
I made Wacky Chocolate Cake cupcakes. This is an old family recipe that I was thrilled to find doesn't have any dairy products in it, as sadly my body does not like anything remotely dairy.

If you haven't tried this recipe before it will become your biggest life savor. If you forgot the eggs and ran out of milk. You can still make the cupcakes for Johnny's preschool class without leaving the house.

Then you will need Oreos which are also DAIRY FREE! We used Double Stuff.

Then you can really use anything for the nose and eyes. We used Skittles and stuck them on with extra frosting.

If you do have dairy allergies in the family Pillsbury frosting will become your new best friend. That's right. No dairy products in their chocolate frosting. mmm..

The eye brows are frosted pieces of the oreo cookie tops.

Bill made some Sleepless Night Owls.

We couldn't bare to eat any of them. So I think we'll both take some to work tomorrow.
